KUALA LUMPUR, December 2024 - ASCARO Padel &amp; Social Club, Malaysia's premiere padel destination hosted the inaugural GoodFest Event this past weekend featuring a variety of wellness activities and a padel tournament.&nbsp;

As the padel sport has been gaining popularity, the event was attended by about 400 people including regular players, wellness enthusiasts, influencers, and experts from different specialties. There was also a padel tournament, The GoodFest Cup, which added a healthy dose of competition.

"I was absolutely thrilled by the amazing turnout at GoodFest! The event was a perfect blend of wellness, fun, and padel - all complemented by a fantastic weather and enthusiastic guests," shared Deserie Martinez, Head of Events and Communications at ASCARO.

The GoodFest event showcased more than just padel as other wellness activities were also available for participants, ranging from restorative activities like yoga, meditation, and breathwork to strength-building like pilates, core and circuit workouts and barre.&nbsp;

While there were many physical healthy activities, there were also talks that served as valuable food for thought. One of the topics highlighted was about ‘Mastering Manhood’ by Mauri, opening the conversation about what modern masculinity is expected in our current society. This talk brought to light the complex terrains of men needing to balance the personal and professional, with the need to stay physically and mentally strong. The talk encouraged the benefits of belonging to a supportive men’s community – one that can be fostered in places like the padel courts.

The other talk was about stem cell technology and how it has revolutionized the wellness space by Dr. Jezzamine Lim, CEO and founder of Cell Biopeutics Resources Malaysia. Cellular performance plays a big role in the recovery and aging aspect of wellness journeys; this biotechnology has introduced stem cell therapy and stem-cell-derived cosmetic products.

Finally, a padel tournament, the GoodFest Cup was the main event with 98 players competing for prizes and wellness goodies.

Aside from the activities at the event, there were also a variety of products, rehab and physio consultations, and various other wellness-supportive brands. These included So Good, Dunlopillo, Fred Perry, Precise Rehab, Regen Physio &amp; Sports Rehab, L’evive, l1vin, Glaceau Vitamin Water, Perrier and Licky Chan.

"We’re proud to have been a part of the GoodFest event, to highlight the importance of health and wellness to a vibrant audience. The event was an incredible opportunity to share the goodness of So Good plant-based milks, delighting attendees with delicious range of Oat, Almond and Soy milks and wholesome nutrition in every sip,” said Ashleigh Rothel, the Senior Brand Manager of International Sanitarium Health Food Company.

Cudis, the first AI smart ring that rewards your wellness journey was also there to introduce their technology.

“The GoodFest focus on holistic health, fitness and mindfulness perfectly reflected Cudis’ core values in empowering individuals on their wellness journey. It was great to connect with passionate fitness enthusiasts and wellness advocates and we’re thrilled to have been part of such a dynamic community event,” said Edison Chen, the Co-Founder and CEO of Cudis.

Finally, Martinez expressed her gratitude to everyone who made GoodFest a one-of-a-kind experience, adding, “A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us – our sponsors, instructors and speakers and of course ASCARO and Paloma – we are looking forward to having more events such as these!”

The inaugural GoodFest Event showcases padel sport and other wellness experiences while spotlighting ASCARO Padel & Social Club as the ideal location for hosting health and wellness activities and events.

ASCARO Presents the GoodFest Event Bringing Padel and Wellness Together

KUALA LUMPUR, 7 November 2024 – ASCARO has unveiled a new partnership with Padel Galis, the Spanish padel court manufacturer, securing its position as the manufacturer’s exclusive distributor in Malaysia.

After opening its doors just over a year ago at the rooftop of 1Utama New Wing, the ASCARO Padel &amp; Social Club has set the standard for the city’s padel courts. Their dedication to outfitting their facilities with the finest grade materials available showcases the differences in quality and returns on investment.

“At ASCARO, we not only distribute padel courts but also manage our own clubs and we are certain that Padel Galis courts are a durable investment over time,” said Daniel Liljekvist, Managing Director and Partner at ASCARO.

Price versus Quality: You Get What You Pay For

As the sport has gained traction and popularity in the region, so has the growing demand for high-quality facilities in the region. One of ASCARO’s goals is to champion padel as an elite sport while still staying true to its roots. Originating in Acapulco, Mexico in 1969, padel was then introduced to Spain by Prince Alfonso of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, who built two courts at his Marbella Club Hotel.

The sport has made its global presence felt, and Southeast Asia is no exception. The tropical region is exposed to weather that can wear down a court, such as high humidity, heavy rains and strong winds.

Salva Segura, chief growth officer of Padel Galis explains: “The quality of the courts in a region like Southeast Asia is non-negotiable. Extreme weather conditions test the materials, and if they aren’t of high-quality, maintenance and repair costs rise significantly.”

Liljekvist adds: “We’ve seen how the appeal of low-priced products can be tempting in the short-term, but in areas with high humidity and frequent rain, investing in quality is essential.”

Popular demand would lead to healthy competition, and the Malaysian padel market is no exception. Numerous low-cost alternatives are entering the market and often falling short in terms of quality. Cheaper courts tend to experience ‘wear-and-tear’ issues such as oxidation, cracking and breakage, especially under adverse weather conditions.

Investing in high-quality materials, specifically by Padel Galis, would result in long-term savings by reducing repair and replacement costs.

Padel Galis’ contribution to the development of padel in Malaysia will offer local clubs and players padel facilities that will meet the highest international standards.

“That’s why we are thrilled to work with ASCARO, a company that shares our vision in providing durable, top-tier solutions for our clients,” adds Segura.”
